UFC 158: St-Pierre vs. Diaz Weigh-In Results

Whether or not you agree with the notion of Nick Diaz as top contender, few folks would argue against the entertainment value involved in the welterweight’s crack at champion Georges St-Pierre’s gold. After months and months of trash-talk, the two are finally on the cusp of colliding inside the Octagon and will simply need to hit their weight-related marks to make things official.

Diaz and St-Pierre stepped on the scale this afternoon with the rest of the lineup for UFC 158 and, as usual, Five Ounces of Pain was be tuned in to relay results back to our readers as things unfold in real time. Diaz clocked in at 169 pounds with GSP being one pound heavier. As expected, the two shared an intense staredown albeit one only lasting a split second before UFC President Dana White intervened on the cusp of it getting physical. Neither had much to say after weighing in, though St-Pierre promised to “walk the walk” come showtime.

was that Cote? I can’t believe that guy made his UFC debut against Tito Ortiz as a LHW. He looks like he should have been at 170 all along.

Half these fights are at WW and the division is gonna be shaken up a little after tomorrow night. I really like Dan Miller but I think Jordan Mein has the goods to go far in the division. Ellenberger is looking to stake a claim as a top 5 fighter. Hendricks is looking to keep his #1 contender spot. Cote is looking for a resurgence and you’ve got Woodly, Tarric, Maia and Rory all making noise outside of 158. I’m still gutted about losing Fitch but welterweight is looking stacked all of a sudden.
